The 38th annual Los Angeles Marathon, dubbed the “Stadium to the Stars,” will unfold Sunday, March 19, starting at Dodger Stadium, winding through the streets of Los Angeles and the cities of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and reaching the finish line in Century City.
Whatever your reason for not attending live — maybe you’re not keen on finding a parking spot, or learning how to use Metro — you can snuggle down and tune in to a live television broadcast thanks to KTLA-5 in Los Angeles.
Their coverage begins at 6 a.m. with a Morning News LA Marathon Special Edition that runs until 6:30 a.m.
The main broadcast of the marathon runs from 6:30-10 a.m., followed by a post-race show from 10-11 a.m.
The local station is also streaming the “Stadium to the Stars” race on KTLA.com and KTLA’s YouTube channel here: bit.ly/3tZqi9N
Alternatively, you may download the KTLA+ app to watch (ktla.com/apps/).

This year, the 26.2 mile race “Stadium to the Stars” ends with a slight twist. Runners will cross the finish line on Santa Monica Boulevard at the corner of Avenue of the Stars — instead of turning the corner onto the Avenue of the Stars. The reason? A new Metro stop is being constructed in the nearby mixed residential and business district, which was once the backlot of 20th Century Studios.
The “Stadium to the Stars” route was inaugurated on Nov. 7 in 2021, after being delayed from March 2021 due to Covid-19 concerns. In the 10 years before the marathon’s finish line was moved to Century City, the catchy “Stadium to the Sea” finish line ended at Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica.
